Why? Lot's of Tesla here in Vegas and the southwest side of town is $$$. Also, it might help get all these damn Uber Tesla's off the normal peoples charge sites who charge to 100% (fml NW side of town until the other site opens).Surely this has to be a typo or something, as that's about the dumbest possible place to drop 48 stalls.
Land in Nevada is about as cheap as it comes, such that:Why?
We don't complain about new superchargers around here, certainly not about new LARGE superchargersSurely this has to be a typo or something, as that's about the dumbest possible place to drop 48 stalls.
I prefer more geographic diversity for convenience and less susceptibility to localized power outages. We don't need to hit gas station level density, as home charging is what needs to be the norm, but diverting 10+ km to hit a charging station is dumb, especially if you scale it up to something like a quarter million Tesla's doing it every day.We don't complain about new superchargers around here, certainly not about new LARGE superchargers
I think you are being a little self-centered here in thinking that only through traffic would be using this supercharger. In fact, I doubt many Teslas would be diverting 6+ miles to use it. Why would they? There are already other superchargers along I-15.I prefer more geographic diversity for convenience and less susceptibility to localized power outages.

There are just so many Teslas that drive up from SoCal (and other locations) that stay in all different parts of Vegas. Even if you think every Tesla owner should live in a house with a garage with a charging setup in their garage, there would still be a lot of use for a supercharger here. And of course apartment dwellers may also get a lot of use out of it as well.I was more speaking in general about less stalls per location in favor of more locations. Even if you assume this is just for locals, it still encourages bad behavior in the form of people relying exclusively on supercharging, rather than installing something as cheap and simple as a 6-20R.
Thanks for your insight, us locals appreciate it! /sIn summer the total installed solar probably barely covers residential aircon, never mind anything else, so you're powering superchargers off natural gas peaker plants for the foreseeable future. Aircon loads drop significantly a few hours after the sun goes down, so all that capacity is freed up for home charging with no need for residential infrastructure upgrades.
Also, that parking lot is almost too big. If they stick the chargers on the east side of the lot, all your frozen goods from Walmart would damn near melt walking back to your car in July.
My family had a condo in Mesquite until a few years back, but I mostly had the good sense to be nowhere near it between May and September.Thanks for your insight, us locals appreciate it! /s
Basically every Friday/Saturday/Sunday as all the California people come to town. Can’t wait for the light rail to be built!

Tesla Arroyo Crossing The project proposes to install 48 electric vehicle (EV) charging in an existing parking lot at the Arroyo Crossing development in Clark County. The proposed improvements include associated electrical equipment, the location of which has been coordinated with the property owner and NV Energy. The project will propose to maintain as much existing pavement as possible, and the new improvements include adding additional landscaping in parking lot islands. The project will slightly reduce the drive aisle north of the proposed improvements (Arroyo Crossing Parkway) but will remain code compliant for emergency vehicle access. |
